Advice on Truck Campers
Hello! My husband and I are in the market for our first truck camper. We started with a motorhome, then went to a 5th wheel toy hauler with a back porch and now we're downgrading to something more fit...

As said before there is a lot out there. We also have a 40 foot 5th wheel toy hauler and just got tired of pulling it and finding so many places we could not get into. We were lucky we found a F450 Ford set up with a aluminum flatbed 6 big storage boxes a big foot self leveling system and a 990 Arctic Fox TC. we have had it for 3 years and love it haven't moved the 5th wheel yet. Good luck in your search, and we do travel over 12000 miles last year in 7 months in the tc.
Funny thing is that when we went from a motorhome to a 5th wheel, we thought that would open up more camping spots for us because we could use the pickup and, well, that didn't turn out to be the case. The length...my goodness! Very limiting and you can't just turn on a dime, although I was pretty impressed with how my husband could turn that thing around in a pinch! Wow, 12,000 miles in 7 months. That's impressive!
